Benzina

Apologies if I am late to the party on this one , I recently discovered these publications having got the heads up from adie851. More of a "coffee table companion" than a magazine, these are quality ,great photographs and a damn good read.

Greg Pullen is the publisher,editor,chief writer, he has a passion for all marque 's of Italian motorcycles,inevetably each issue has a chunk of Ducati stuff within.

There were 17 issues of Benzina published , many of which you can buy via Gregs website as back issues,I splashed out on issues 4,14 and 16, all very good.

He has stopped Benzina in favour of a new publication,"The Road", check it out on......theroadanthology.bigcartel.com , not cheap at 20 quid but 200 quality pages of motorcycling.

I promise you, you will not be disappointed,

Used to enjoy “afternoon tea and cake” at his when he was publishing Benzina.

Wasn’t aware of The Road though, so thanks for the heads up.

Would this be the same guy that I met at the Donington classic meeting a couple of years ago, who was working on a publication called "Ducati & the TT" ?
It was definitely produced under the same "Benzina" banner.
That might be another title to look out for.
He did seem both passionate and knowledgeable to the extreme.

That's him Geoff.
I must admit I was a tad jealous of Greg at the time. What caught my eye was the Moto Guzzi MGS-01 on his stand. His toy......Guzzi porn!!
